Hi,
I am quite happy that we are able to use our OLED displays. But I have noticed that some LCD displays can show an horizontal bar or a percentage when the volume is changed, a square when music is stopped, a triangle when you click on play, and 2 vertical bars when music is paused. Is it possible to do that with an OLED display?

Concerning the oled screen, which model is the script compatible with? I got this one from Audiophonics, but haven't managed to make it work yet. I haven't even understood if I have to follow I2C or SPI wiring instructions. Can you please help?

Ok, I understand this. But what if someone wanted to use the 2.42" screen? What changes should be done at the script?

Hi. I think it will need a completely different script. Try to search to see if some one wrote a script for your display. Normally one should start by checking if there is a script for a particular display before you buy it. There is a guy on this forum named drone who seem to be an expert on displays. You can ask him.

I built it from a yamaha tx-500u tuner from the eighties. Got it cheap from ebay (35Euro). Who uses this kind of tuner nowadays?
I added 2 large analog vu meters to give it a vintage look. The display is a 16x2 oled one. The bezel around the display is from digikey.
I have 10 hardware buttons on the front of the player (1) that are mapped to several playlists, and 4 other buttons (2) that are used for play, pause. next, previous. I use moode audio. A script is used for those buttons.
I use a yamaha IR remote that came with the yamaha amplifier you see under the RPi player (3). It has got 11 extra buttons. Apart from the usual play, pause, next and previous buttons, I have 6 buttons on the remote that are mapped to several playlists.
You can use any IR remote to control your player. All you need is a 10Euro IR receiver and a python script. I find it a must to be able to operate my player with an IR remote.
I recently added an arduino (8) so that I can use the IR remote to switch on the player. The arduino is permanently on and ready to receive the signal from the IR remote, in which case it activate a relay that turn on the atx-type switch (6).
The IR remote ''on'' button switches on both the player and the amplifier at the same time, and the IR remote ''off'' button (different from the on button) switches off the player and the amplifier at the same time. That's cool.
On the second picture you can see that I use a linear power supply (9 and 7) to supply power to the allo boss sound card (11) and a 2 amps switching power supply for the RPi (hidden on the picture). The vu-meter driver (10) has got a separate 12volts power supply (hidden on the picture). The arduino has a different 5volts power supply.
For me, the priority is the ease of use. I don't know if all those addidtions have an impact on the sound quality. I am sure an 'áudiophile'' will tell you it have an impact. It does not matter for me since i am not an audiophile.

Great work Remy, I have come across your player while searching google for player ideas!
The difference between us is that you know what you're doing, while I am trying to combine tutorials and guides

So, if for example, nobody has used the particular display I bought with Moode and/or raspberry, I am helpless and sadly with not enough free time to learn python or try to do everything from scratch
I have found at least 3-4 different wiring guides for the oled screen I bought from audiophonics. It's sad that there isn't any official documentation. But then, I don't know if there is any point for one, since there are hundreds applications where it could be used!
